The longer answer
Norway's government has announced plans to impose a temporary restriction on AI‑enabled smart glasses in selected public venues, citing privacy concerns.123
The proposed measures target locations such as parks, schools, gyms, and facilities with changing rooms, and would apply for a limited period rather than constitute a permanent ban.123

The answer reflects current proposals; final legislation could differ.
